Wolves Will Make Every Effort to Survive

Prior to Round 22 of the Premier League, Wolverhampton are outside the relegation zone. They have the same number of points as Bournemouth, but they have a little better goal differential. The Wolves have only scored 12 goals so far, so this is odd. This results in a mere 0.6 goals scored per game on average.

In contrast, their defense has done okay. Particularly now that Lopetegui is in charge. Under his leadership, the Wolves allowed over one goal in a Premier League game only once. The match in question was on January 22 against Manchester City, which the Citizens won 3-0 at Etihad thanks to a hat-trick from Erling Haaland. Wolverhampton had 44% of the game’s possession and one goal-bound shot out of 10 attempts. Seven of Manchester City’s 13 shots on goal were on target. The fact that the Wolves have been scored against in five of their last six games, giving up eight goals in that span, will be of concern to them.

Wolverhampton played Liverpool in the FA Cup before the game and lost by a score of just one. Their first cup match ended in a draw, therefore this was their second.

Liverpool’s Situation Isn’t Looking Good

Liverpool have been eliminated from the FA Cup and EFL Cup. The Reds are now occupying the ninth spot in the Premier League, 21 points behind table-toppers Arsenal. All of this suggests that Jürgen Klopp’s team’s best chance of taking home a trophy this year is to claim the Champions League title.

The unfortunate thing is that Real Madrid, the current champions, will be their challengers in the opening round of the elimination stage. In around three weeks, the first game of the UCL doubleheader will air, and the Reds are presumably already planning ahead for it. In spite of their relatively easy schedule, they might not be overly excited about the Premier League.

Liverpool had 44% of the ball in their last match, which they lost to Brighton in the FA Cup, and made eight attempts at goal, aiming the target twice. Harvey Elliott (30’) was the only Liverpool player to score. Six of Brighton’s 13 shots on goal were on target. The last six games that Klopp’s guys have played have seen the ball go into the net five times. In those same matches, they have been the “victim” of 10 goals. Liverpool have lost both of their previous league games on the road coming into this meeting.

Head-to-Head

The results of previous matches between these clubs dating back to June 12, 2020, show that the Wolves haven’t fared well in these contests. They haven’t been able to win any games at all, whereas Liverpool have simply outperformed them, winning 83% of those games.

Fifteen goals were scored between them in this time frame, with three coming from the Wolves and 12 coming from The Reds; 2.5 goals have been scored on average each game.

The Verdict: Wolves vs. Liverpool

Pick: Under 2.5 goals and Liverpool to win on EGT Interactive casino sites that have sports sections aside from their casino sections. Let’s explain.

The Wolves’ attack is terrible, and Liverpool lacks a bunch of strikers (Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, and Luis Díaz). Given this, there’s a good chance that there won’t be plenty of goals on Saturday. We anticipate some goals, but they’ll likely only go in the Wolves’ net. We predict that this Liverpool team will score and maybe keep a clean sheet, making it difficult for Wolverhampton to get past their improving defence.
